Doug Casey of Casey Research refuses to see gold market manipulation because it contradicts his ideology that markets are always bigger than governments. (If only they were, since then no government on the planet would remain in its current configuration and totalitarianism would be impossible.)
The job of CPM Group's Jeff "Pay No Attention to That Man Behind the Curtain" Christian depends on his denying gold market manipulation, since the market manipulators are his own clients, central banks.
But with his commentary today recognizing gold market manipulation and naming it "The Force," financial letter writer Dennis Gartman may signify that the End Times are approaching, wherein the obvious can be simultaneously acknowledged and dismissed as what everybody supposedly knew all along, though the record will show only denial and ridicule of assertions of what is now acknowledged as obvious.
The relevant excerpt from Gartman's commentary today is appended.
